Jesus Is Winning Souls (Essay) 191
Tune: Arranged by A. C. Clark, 1840
Alto: Seaborn McDaniel Denson, 1911
Lyrics: Purify's Selection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1823

See how the wicked kingdom
Is falling ev’ry day!
And still our blessed Jesus
Is winning souls away;
But O how I am tempted,
No mortal tongue can tell!
So often I’m surrounded
With enemies from hell.
With weeping and with praying,
My Jesus I have found,
To crucify old nature,
And make His grace abound.
Dear children, don’t be weary,
But march on in the way;
For Jesus will stand by you
And be your guard and stay.
